I had a similar problem 2 days ago, one usb partition as /dev/sda1, boot
stopped with an error, I do not remember but related to a missing device.
Rebooting solved the problem.

My solution is to insert:

        echo -e "\033[1;33;40mSelf-imposed wait of 10s...(12/02/08)\033[0;37;40m"
        /bin/sleep 10.0

just ahead of

        wait_for_udev 10

in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local function mountroot (). But I don't think I should have to do that.
